Subject: Cartographic Perspectives Special Digital Issue
Last week the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS)
launched a special digital issue of Cartographic Perspectives in an
effort to begin discussing the future of the journal, (e.g.,
possibilities of open access, digital format). Additionally, there
are some great tools for all of us in the GeoSpatial community to
take advantage of in this issue.
I have been tasked with putting another issue together, and will be
accepting submissions until January 15, 2010. Please contact me with
any questions, ideas or interest in publishing in the next digital
issue, to be released in April 2010. The content, as you will see in
the current issue, is not restricted to classic research/refereed
papers. You can share techniques, tips, data, etc. For professors or
TAs of GIScience, I would be interested in receiving submissions that
focus on a particular lab or difficult topic for which you have found
great solutions (e.g. projections to new students, successful seminars).
